I would like to get some information about what modifications one can do to a Nitro 5 to reduce temps. I already know about repaste, undervolt, underclock and cooler pads. What about more "extreme mods" ?
Anyone have any "How To" style pins/stickys on this? or any infos...

Summer is approaching and my temps have already increased a few C!


Thank You.

    As I said before, get a laptop tablet cooler and/or make one yourself with appropriate fans to insert cool air into the laptops enclosure, that is the first step and the simplest way to do it as there is no magic pill to reduce overheating in a laptop as its not like in a desktop where there is more room and you can implement “Water Cooling” and overheating can be treated simply!

    Watercooling for laptops is not available like on desktop(s) so I wouldn’t try to implement and/or devise one as its very complicated and bulky, there are some systems that have been modified with watercooling and I think there is one water cooled laptop available on the market today but its expensive. Buy a tablet cooler (and you can also do some additional CPU/GPU and heatsink mods also) and if the tablet cooler doesn’t do a 100% cooling job then modefy it and put bigger fans on it to insert more air into your under side of the laptops enclosure, that is what I’ve done and it works very well, there is a very good guide for this for an Aspire  V3-571G (which I have as one of my laptops) and I've done similar things to my Aspire  V3-571G and it works quite well, have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCLzUcvUa4 and implement similar things to your laptp, good luck.

    Thank You for the information. Is very interesting.

    Ive got a Klim Wind laptop cooler pad coming from US to replace my cooler master X3 ( didnt see any improvements in cooling), will see if the fans line up perfectly with the laptop intake. Hope it will reduce temps for me.

    Thanks again for the reply!

    I have an Acer Aspire V Nitro BE VN-591G-787T and I did a repaste job last weekend and it worked fine. Also I dryled some holes in bottom base to allow more airlow to fan.

    I have reduced the temperature in 15c-20c.

    I did not do anything toooooo extreme... just basic stuff and it got my temps from mid 90s (throttled) to very low 70s (peak loads).
    All I did has been detailed here: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/627441/guide-thermal-throttling-on-nitro-7-model-an715-51-mitigation

    Note: I did not even go towards opening my laptop :-)
